My family member totally sucked into the cult sent me the ice cream/McDonalds meme DJ sent out last night. And honestly, it's just so done and dusted. In 2016 this was hilarious, remember Trump talking about that Ohio govenor and the pancakes? Hilarious! Now, 8 years later, SAD! |
I actually don’t think it’s about the grift. I think it’s his NPD. Losing the election again would be such a blow to Trump’s ego that he will never ever accept it and will continue living in total denial forever. He’s not running this race for the money or to stay out of prison. He’s running because he has to prove to himself that he’s the best and he’s a winner and 2020 really was a fluke election that was stolen from him. |
This is so funny because bots can't participate, so if they need actual people they realize that it's all an echo chamber. |
Everything about this smelly old man is sad. His dragging right leg, his "weave" (more like a stagger, a'la the garbage truck entrance), his moldy old list of grievances. The sour-faced people leaving his rallies early, or even while he is talking, after waiting for him to arrive hours late. His inability to avoid bankruptcy yet again. It's just so, so sad. |
I'm really hoping he loses so that we can turn a new page and leave the stupidity and drama he brought behind. The bubble of the MAGA cult needs to pop and his people need to start coming back to reality. |
He's going to fall over and not be able to get up. In front of people, too, with cameras. Oh god. |
If Trump loses do you think Don Jr will run for the Republican nomination in 2028? |
We can only hope. Tee that one up, yes please. |
No because I think this run was more about stopping the pending court cases and Don Jr is implicated in many of them. I also have always thought trumps entire schtick would only ever work for him. People are tired of the chaos and want to move on. I think the polarization will stay for awhile because much is related to racism and sexism awoken when Obama won, but slowly this country will start to move forward. |
Great point. Why are empty areas colored red? |
DP. I think this is going to be one of the most accurate things written here today. There was some kind of pitch point moment, where Trump's own qualities came together with a big emotional state of resentment in a large part of the population, and that with novelty and a lack of accountability (yet) gave us 2016. If Trump had actually managed to win after that, I think those emotional ties to him would have strengthened -- but with loss after loss after loss, it's gotten harder and harder to *feel* good about being his supporter. Gravy train? Sure, ride along. But when the wheels fall off, there is no reason to stay with that cart. |
It's a county level map. |
It's also about the grift. The guy is broke (again) and if he loses, will suffer a $2B bankruptcy claim. |
